I just tossed a coin cell.
It fell negative.

True Random enough?

Why is it that I've only *ever* seen the word written 'alright', but Google tells me that the proper and vastly more prevalent phrase is 'all right'? This is seriously blowing my mind right now.

Yep.
But that is not the right question.

Is that a case of color colour?

What is the characteristic speed of a solid rocket motor based on ice and thermite?

I'm going to go with "BOOM". :lol:

Which part of the wreckage?

 

[mojoey]

Well if the front doesn't fall off...all of it, I assume.

The German Tornado aircraft lost their night-flight capability with the ASSTA-3 avionics update and can no longer be used at night.... :facepalm:

Just try tossing a CR2032 cell a few times.

Does it matter? Actually adding a lower limit on the flip count only reduces the possible outcomes, which reduces the actual randomness...

No, it doesn't. There are always only two possible outcomes.

That's what we call a "catastrophic improvement".

Well, let's hope they have backups of the older avionics OS.

Wow, your air force is going to save a bundle since they don't have to pay pilots for the night shift now! Now you can take more Syrian refugees.

No, we need to make it a requirement to take it before voting. You fail the test, you don't get to vote.

45/50 and I did not even try hard to read the questions....

 

[Notebook]

I've done all the questions, but I can't find my score. Guess that means an auto-fail, like forgetting to put your name at the top of the paper...

N.

It's tempting sometimes, but there are excellent historical reasons to reject the idea with a resounding "NO!". Jim Crow demonstrated painfully well how that kind of thing can be manipulated.
